Students for Sensible Drug Policy at VCU held the first Annual Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference to discuss drug policy with current and retired members of law enforcement, health professionals, lobbyists, and legal professionals.

Dr. Linda Hancock, Director of VCU's Wellness Resource Center, spoke about the "genetic snowflake" theory of individuals' body chemistry. Different "molecules" (that's what she calls drugs) affect individuals differently and she was trying to explain that legalizing drugs may be particularly harmful for some individuals.
